About Us

The Faculty Dental Service Group is a unique private dental practice in San Francisco. Our dentists are distinguished faculty members of the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry — from professors who research, develop and teach state-of-the-art principles to nationally recognized authorities who lecture at dental conferences and seminars. The practice offers general dental care as well as a wide range of specialties to adult patients. 

All clinics are operating according to their normal schedules.

Emergency services are first come, first served based on availability. Intake sessions are normally at 8:00 am and 1:00 pm (San Francisco location)

For urgent dental emergencies during school closure, after hours or weekend emergencies, please call 1.888.372.0892.
